Feel sorry for Chris Jordan having pulled off oner of the most amazing T20 catches yet ends up not being credited with the catch!!

5th T20I Ahmedabad
India 224-2
England 188-8 Malan 68 Buttler 52 Thakur 3-45 Kumar 2-15
India beat England by 36 runs

England actually had a sniff, with Buttler & Malan, who added 130, after Roy fell for a duck in the first over. But India bowled 2 tidy over & the rate climbed beyond 12, Buttler lost his wicket & the momentum swung towards India, with no other batsmen able to pick the rate up.

I think the they where never really close the rate was always to high from the off with the quality of bowling India has,
We are not playing the best team at the moment and that's going to fuck us up come the world cup, Morgan needs to get over him self and bring Hales back , also I think most of use could name two blowers better than the brothers ,

It was interesting watching the betting odds on that match. At the beginning of England's innings you could get 5/1 on an England win. That gradually went down to a mere 6/5 before Buttler's dismissal when the odds started rising again.

More concerns over Archers elbow, which will be assessed when he returns home to England. The injury was an issue during the Test series & has got worse over the 5 T20 matches. As a consequence, he has been deemed unfit for the 3 match ODI series, which will be played in Pune on the 23, 26 & 28 march.
With the IPL set to begin on April 9, Archer will miss the start, but Rajasthan royals are optimistic that he will feature at some point in this years tournament.
